Rafts are running on the Susque- | hanna and trains loaded with the | rough and ready men who had rid- den them down the river are going through Bellefonte on their way back to the woods in Centre and Clearfield counties. i John Dunklebarger was Dbit- ten on the lip, chin and foot while he slept in his home in Pleasant Gap. Two of his children were similarly attacked by rodents a few nights be- fore. A new water wheel and pumps were installed in the Bellefonte water works and the town has more water than it needs. They are throwing 140 gallons a minute into the reser- voir. The following Centre countians left for the west last Wednesday: J. J. McClellan and Levy Myers, of Buf- falo Run, went to Nebraska; C. F. Bitner, of Tusseyville, to Kansas City; A. W. Love, of Tussey- ville, to Kansas City; and Jesse Dun- lap and son, of Farmers Mills, to Salina, Kansas. Millheim claims a population of 605. Mrs. Samuel VanTries, of Belle- fonte, suffered a stroke of paralysis. The room on High street vacated by Francis Speer and his cigar store, is being fitted up as offices for Dr. Harris. John G. Kurtz, a former resident of Bellefonte, is in town showing his patented “American Fire Ladder and Escape.” This machine is on wheels, can be erected to the top of the high- est building in two minutes. It has movable platforms which attach to the window sills of a burning house. Women and children can get on the platforms and be lowered to the ground very quickly. We suppose the men are expected to jump down. Last Friday afternoon Eddie Wy- land, eleven year old son of Samuel Wyland, of Central City, Milesburg, shot and killed his fourteen year old brother, Harry. The latter was in the room of their home committing to : memory a piece to say at school. His father had loaded the gun to shoot rats and left it sitting in the room. Eddie entered, got to playing with the weapon and it went off in his ‘Hands sending fifty-two shot into the arms and bowels of his brother. The lad lived until the next day. He said he had been so intent studying his piece that he didn’t even notice his younger brother entering the room. Wheat was $1.00 per bushel, corn 40 cts., oats 25 c., butter 15c., eggs 15¢., ham 9c and lard 6c. i i As it looks now the four cent gasoline tax will be forced through the Legislature at the present session for the special purpose of accumulat- ing a fund for State highway work. This is deemed necessary because of the insistence of Republican leaders that the Wheeler bill be passed which advances 450 miles of roadway from the secondary class to the primary grade. Should the bill be enacted into a law it would mean an expenditure of $23,000,000, and Centre county’s allotment would be $388,930 for 7.8 miles of new highway. ——0Dr. E. S. Maloy is preparing to vacate the room in Petrikin hall, which he has occupied for a number of years, expecting to move his dental parlors to the Y. M. C. A. Mrs. Hartswick will take Dr. Maloy's present rooms, moving there from the Garman house on the first of April. SHINGLETOWN.

Everybody is invited to make use of it to express whatever opinion they may have on any subject. Nothing libelous will be published, though we will give the public the widest latitude in invective when the subject is this paper or its editor. Con- tributions will be signed or initialed, as the contributor may desire.—-ED. “Let George Do It.” Below we publish a letter from Harry Ulmer Tibbens. It suggests a very good idea, for what could be more interesting than a short story of the four winds to which the mem- | bers of the Class of '89 of the Belle- | fonte High school have scattered. Many of them have achieved signal | success in life, all have proven credits | to their alma mater and their home town. In fact, we go so far as to ad- mit that two of them—Given and Tibbens, himself, are even better writing men than we are—and that’s some admission. We make it solely, however, by way of informing our correspondent that we're fed up on all flattery that ultimately means “Let George Do It.” We'd be much interested in a story of ’89 B. H.S., but not so much interested as to write it ourselves.—Ed. Canton, Ohio, March 7, 1929. Dear George: How tempus does fugit! Next May it will be 40 years since the Class of ’89, founders of the High school li- brary, of the Bellefonte High school received their diplomas and listened to a rather prosy talk by Prof. Jack- son of P. S. C. It will be five years in June since my elder son Frederic graduated from Penn State, B. S. in C. E. It has occurred to me that may- hap the Watchman might wish to write an anniversary article on the Class of ’89, some of whom are still living, tho I know that the circle has been broken. Among the members of the class were Jennie Fauble, Jen- nie Lukenbach, Bessie Dorworth, An- dy Cruse, (who was not present at commencement as he had been ap- appointed to Annapolis a short time earlier) W. T. Kelly, Charley Noll, John Given and myself. There were several others in the class from time to time, but this is about the crowd which finished. I entered High school in the class of '90, but skipped one year and finished the last two years with the ’'89 class. Our class was instrumental in starting the High school library and I believe the first funds were secured by giving a plan in which most of us appeared, assisted by sev- eral members of the succeeding class. Probably Bill Kelly could give you some information and I guess my own memory runs back that far if there are any other details you might wish, but I think it would be nice to give a little sketch of the surviving members and a few lines of what they have been doing since those memorable days back in old Belle- fonte. How does the idea appeal to you? If T get back to Johnstown before you run your stuff I might be able to find a group of pictures, (Fink- ~y binder took the pictures,) of the class: if you would care to have a cut made. Anyway, I will be glad to hear what you think of the matter. With every good wish and kind per- sonal regards, I remain, Sincerely yours, HARRY ULMER TIBBENS S——————————r i ————————— ——Centre county bituminous coal mines during 1928 produced 837,50 tons of marketable coal. a —. _— NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
